The First Serbian Uprising broke out in February 1804 following the Slaughter of the Knezes conducted by the Dahije (renegade Janissaries) that had wrested the Belgrade Pashalik and ruled in tyranny. After the Burning of the Inns, the Dahije sent one of their leaders to negotiate with the rebels under supreme commander Karađorđe. They met in Drlupa, where the meeting became a battle, and then tried negotiating again at Smederevska Palanka. The negotiations failed and the uprising continued to expand.
